Barclay Hotel (Vancouver, Canada)

The Barclay Hotel's big advantage is its prime location - a sentiment that is shared by virtually every past guest. With it being right in the center of Vancouver, it is surrounded by attractions, restaurants, shops and bars. For example, the likes of Stanley Park, downtown Vancouver and Orpheum Theatre are all within 15 minutes away on foot from the hotel.

In the opinion of the large majority of previous visitors, the hotel has a major asset in their favor when it comes to their staff. Friendly, accommodating and willing to help in whatever way they can, the staff has received a lot of praise in every aspect of customer service.

Although the rooms at the Barclay Hotel are simple in what they offer, most previous guests were happy with the accommodation. Along with being comfortable, the rooms are also generally noted as being clean by past visitors.

The lack of an elevator has been understandably troublesome for a number of past guests at the Barclay Hotel - especially those staying on the higher floors of the building.

The parking situation at the hotel has been upsetting for many former visitors. Not only is there a limited amount of spaces in the opinion of most guests, but the parking is not on-site and it comes at a surcharge.

While the Barclay Hotel does have a bar area and concierge service, some previous guests have lamented the accommodation for its no-thrills approach. However, this has not been a problem for the majority of past visitors, with the hotel fitting the bill as an inexpensive base to explore Vancouver.
